    Full disclosure...I only had 4 hours in the morning cuz I wanted to get back in time for NFL playoffs, so my intent was to troll for some Rainbow or Kings...but after 3 hours of dragging lures and no results, I had to go bass fishing with the time I had left. I found a 100 foot long submerged ledge by the levy that was about 3 feet under water at the top and down to 8-10 feet on the drop off. Tied on the Strike King Casting Jig with a Ned Craw trailer. I set up about 25 feet away and cast to the ledge, popping my jig off the bottom back at me. This was the best of the day. 2 lb 4 oz. and my first bass for 2024. Here's to many, many more for us all!!!!

    OK...I'm either becoming a very good Texas Rig fisherman....or I'm just terrible at the other 100 techniques I continually try to master without as much success. Today, it was the trusty Plum Zoom Trick Worm...again...that was pulling them in. Folsom Lake is always a tough one to figure out. The reports are so varied on how to approach the lake. But slow dragging a Texas Rig off of points and submerged rocks and ledges just seems to work. You can tell these bass are really beginning the fall gorge for before winter hits right around the corner. Should be pretty good out there in October.
